Next-Generation Adhesives for Wind Turbine Blades
As the global wind energy industry continues to evolve, how will adhesive bonding adapt? Adhesives are a critical contributor to the structural load-bearing performance of the final wind blade assembly. They are therefore subject to long qualifications at blade manufacturers. The current turbine blade bonding technology may be completely reshaped by three opportunities: raw material availability, blade recyclability, and the evolution of blade designs.
WEBINAR: Harnessing the Power of Business Cycle Analysis
In this “Harnessing the Power of Business Cycle Analysis” webinar, we demonstrate the benefits of Business Cycle Analysis in helping companies assess the economy, identify trends, and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Attendees learn about key economic and coatings market indicators, as well as how to track them using the interactive Business Cycle Analysis tool within the Coatings TraQr® platform.
Formulating with Flexibility
More than any single piece of lab equipment, a successful R&D team’s most vital tool is a flexibility mindset. Market demands continue to push developers and formulators to stretch the boundaries of what is achievable. In addition, customers are creative and don’t always evaluate or use products in the way they were originally intended.
WEBINAR: Safety First! Best Practices in Environmental, Health and Safety
“Safety First! Best Practices in Environmental, Health and Safety” is the final webinar in our four-part Operational and Manufacturing Excellence series, in partnership with the American Coatings Association. Topics covered include EPA and OSHA compliance and operation procedures, as well as hazardous waste, air and water emissions, process safety, personal protective equipment, emergency response, hazard communications, and more.
Adhesives and Sealants: Enabling Sustainable Change
Considering the global megatrend that sustainability has become, the adhesive industry had a bit of a head start. After all, natural materials like tree sap were used as the earliest adhesives known to man, and starches have provided renewable options for adhesive formulations in packaging applications for decades. In addition, hot melts have long represented a significant segment of the adhesive industry; as 100% solids materials, they are inherently quite sustainable. The early shift away from solventborne formulations is another significant example.
PFAS: Eliminating the Harmful (and Establishing the Safe) Materials for Critical Applications
Regulatory bodies all over the world are busy discussing PFAS, and—because they are focusing on this topic—they are forcing all producers of PFAS-containing chemical products, as well as manufacturers of articles that incorporate these chemical products, to not only discuss PFAS but to give serious thought to either how to rid their products of PFAS or to why their PFAS-containing products must be protected at all costs.
